Tired of rising energy bills? What if one system could heat and cool your home efficiently year round? Then our heat pumps are an ideal solution for your needs.
What Are Heat Pumps and How Do They Work?
You may have heard of ductless heat pumps, or mini splits, but what really are they? Heat pumps help enhance indoor experience and comfort. These systems ensure targeted and zoned temperature control, which lead to both increased efficiency and comfort in your home. They’re an energy efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners for every single climate. A heat pump efficiently regulates indoor temperature by transferring heat: it removes heat from your home when it’s warm and captures heat from the outside air when it’s cold.
Top Reasons to Switch to a Heat Pump
Switching to a heat pump isn’t just good for the planet, it’s a smart investment for homeowners. Heat pumps cut home site energy use by 31% to 47% on average (NREL 2024). When combined with matching home improvements such as air sealing, upgraded insulation, and energy-efficient windows, overall energy savings can rise even more. Over time, you’ll see a median savings as high as $650 a year. Since heat pumps provide heating and cooling in one single system, you’re also saving money on equipment replacement and maintenance.
Key Benefits You’ll Love
Of course heat pumps provide comfort, efficiency, help you save money, but what else? A quiet environment is important to everyone, so it’s quite convenient that heat pumps are significantly quieter than most air conditioners or furnaces. This makes it more comfortable for everyone, and even more so since heat pumps are excellent at keeping a steady temperature in your home.
Things to Consider Before Getting a Heat Pump
There are many benefits, but before investing in a heat pump there are some things to consider. The top thing to consider is climate suitability. If you live in extremely cold climates, you may need a heat pump specifically designed for low temperatures. In addition to this, you also need to consider if the heat pump is the right size for your home. If a heat pump is too small, it might run almost all the time since it’ll struggle to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. If the unit is too large, it will turn on and off too often, which will lower its efficiency and lifespan. This is why it is absolutely essential to determine the correct size for your home.
Installation & Maintenance
Proper installation is key for good performance. If you maintain your heat pump the correct way, it can last 15 years or even longer (PR Newswire 2024). Make sure to know the maintenance needs of your heat pump: change filters regularly, clean outdoor coils, ensure proper airflow, and check for any damage/leakage.
